A view of Bruichladdich across Loch Indaal on a bright and clear April morning on Islay. Bruichladdich distillery in the centre, the warehouse on the hill towards the right. Bruichladdich pier on the left. I’m not entirely sure from where I took the picture, I think it was from somewhere between Carnain and Blackrock.
At Bruichladdich distillery you can usually fill a bottle directly from a selected cask, the call it the Valinch. This one was the festival version a few years ago, although I filled it a few days after the festival. the bottle is now waiting for a special occasion.
An older view of Bruichladdich distillery from 2001, just after it was reopened. The building towards the right with the missing roof has a roof again now, it holds the bottling plant now. Also there’s an old still behind the casks with the name.
